The extraordinary story rests uDon
Pinaforc foundations In brief, it is
alleged that prior to his marriage
with Queen Victoria Prince Albert
had contracted a morgonatic alliance
with the Countess Rense, noble Ger
man lady. When his marriage with
England's young queen was consum-
mated his overwhelming affection for
his first love caused him to regard too
lightly his marriage vows and still
pay measure of secret homage to
the fair countess. On the Sth of No
vember, 1910, the queen ives delivered
of a daughter, whom the work. knows
now as Sophia Adelaide, crown Prin
cess OF Prussia Twelve days after a
female child was born to the Count
ess Reuss. In anticipation of such
an event and the ovcrpowcring Scan
DIAL which would result from this pub
licity, Prince Albert had previously
provided the eovntess with legal nus
band in the Person of Count de Lundi

his royal patron at the cost of his own
humiliation.

In the political disturbances in
1913, which evolved French repub

Louis PHILIPPE, the ciild was taken &c
England for short time. The imme

assassination of the old Count Lundi
